Great Unusual Gemstone from Judith Ripka - TOTALLY NATURAL SUNSTONE GEMS.
I know you can see from the photos that this sunstone really picks up light and seems to change with the amount of sunlight. It has a lot of depth to the stone and has an effect of almost glittery down in it - like copper colored flecking. The faceted cuts in the stone really add to this effect. In full complete sunlight - it seems almost like copper iridescent looking.
All metal showing is 18K Yellow Gold, which is layered over solid 925 Sterling Silver
MARQUISE NATURAL SUNSTONES are 20x11mm
See photos: Earrings are 1 1/2" long, 9/16" across
I purchased all of these items from the estate of not just a Judith Ripka collector, but a lady who was also a model of the Judith Ripka jewelry. I assume in all of the hundreds or thousands of Judith Ripka items she had, they were the pieces that she modeled and they were then given to her because most items she had every single color or option in that style. Most were in original boxes and look completely "un-worn" but possibly tried on or even modeled because the majority had no tags but also NO wear on them or on ANY of the boxes whatsoever.
This pair of earrings comes with a JUDITH RIPKA box and velvet bag - all in flawless condition - and I will call this one NEW with no tags. It is gift-ready.
